Features

Overview: The MTX Road Thunder RT8PT is a self-contained, powered subwoofer system that includes an 8" woofer in the ported enclosure and a 120 watt RMS amplifier.

Design: The unit is tube shaped with a flat bottom; the woofer fires from one end and the port and amp are on the other end. Two mounting straps are included to hold the enclosure in place.

Controls/Connections: All the RT8PT's controls and connections are located on the rear panel, along with the amplifier:

• Gain: rotary knob; adjustable from 100mV to 6V
• LPF: the low-pass crossover is continuously variable from 50 to 200 Hz
• Speaker Level Input: Molex plug for use with the included harness
• EBC Port: RJ-25 port (phone type connection) for the included wired remote
• Line Input: stereo RCA inputs
• +12V/Rem/GND: the power, ground, and remote turn-on inputs are set screw terminals; each accepts bare wire up to 8 gauge
• Fuse: a single 10 amp ATO style fuse protects the amplifier

Remote Bass Knob: A wired External Bass Control (EBC) is included with the RT8PT. The EBC connects to the amplifier using the supplied 20' RJ-25 cord, it's designed to mount under your vehicle's dash within arm's length so its easily accessible to the driver. The approximate dimensions are:

• Width: 1-5/8" (2-1/2 " including the mounting tabs)
• Height: 3/4"
• Depth: 1-1/2" (2" including the knob and wiring)

Warranty

5 Year Warranty Terms: This product carries a 5-Year Prorated Warranty with the following terms:

• Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option, repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase.
• Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty period.
